We must endeavour to ensure that the concepts, ideas and representations that we form and with which we live, are not only firmly grounded in logic, but also in reality. We must strive for ideas that are steeped in reality. In the matter of our inquiries which have a specific end in view—I will indicate this presently—it will not be superfluous to remind you that an idea may be true in a certain sense and yet fail to reach down to reality. Of course what we really mean by ideas steeped in reality will only emerge gradually, but one may arrive at an understanding of such ideas by means of simple analogies. I propose therefore by way of introduction to use an analogy to illustrate my meaning.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture I","site_heading":"Reality-Based Thinking and the Spirit's Suppression","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Ich habe diesen Zug der Betrachtung einen solchen genannt, daß wir überall darauf sehen müssen, daß hinter den Begriffen und Vorstellungen und Ideen, die sich der Mensch bildet und in denen er lebt, nicht bloß dasjenige steht, was man oftmals im Leben Logik nennt, sondern daß in den Begriffen und Vorstellungen der Menschen dasjenige lebt, was man Wirklichkeit nennen kann. Nach wirklichkeitsgesättigten Begriffen muß gesucht werden. Und es kann immer wiederum und wiederum nicht unnötig sein, gerade bei den Betrachtungen, die nun hinauslaufen sollen auf ein ganz bestimmtes Ziel, das ich gleich bezeichnen werde, darauf aufmerksam zu machen, wie begreiflich es werden kann, daß ein Begriff, irgendeine Vorstellung, die im Leben vorhanden ist, zwar in einer gewissen Art wahr sein kann, aber nicht in die Wirklichkeit hinunterlangen kann. Gewiß, was eigentlich mit diesen wirklichkeitsgesättigten Begriffen gemeint ist, das wird erst allmählich klar werden; aber man kann sich auch, ich möchte sagen, durch einfache Vergleiche allmählich dahin bringen, die Vorstellung des Wirklichkeitsgesättigten zu haben.
